Same-Sex Marriage

A prominent Anglican minister on Thursday urged Christians to pray for Prince George—the four-year-old son of Prince William and his wife Catherine, and third in line to the British throne—to be gay to advance the cause of same-sex marriage.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) responded Wednesday to stories about his criticism of a federal judicial nominee’s past tweets, saying they are “no laughing matter” and show the nominee would dispense unequal justice.

Advisers to Hillary Clinton privately rejected the Democratic nominee’s excuse that Bill Clinton backed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act as a defensive measure to prevent anti-gay activists from “going further” in barring same-sex couples from getting married, according to emails published by WikiLeaks on Monday.

The New York Times published an editorial Wednesday that cast blame for Omar Mateen’s rampage at a gay Orlando night club on the Republican Party, arguing his crime occurred in an environment where “bigotry is allowed to fester.”
